I was invited to be a guest on Karen Mossman’s blog in her feature, About a Book. Check out the interview where I talk about where I got ideas for Amanda in France as well as a quote and an excerpt.

Where did the idea for the story come from?
My dream to visit the romantic city of Paris came true when we took our dog on a road trip to visit friends living on the outskirts of the city. Paris, and the surrounding area, was everything I imagined it to be and more. Our friends kindly took the time to show us around this fabulous city as well as Monet’s gardens in Giverny and the amazing Palace of Versailles.

I was telling my daughter about your books, and she loves the idea of buying a set for Ellie, so I’ll definitely see you in Sept.!

It was neat to hear about the inspiration for your latest book. My husband proposed to me at the top of Notre Dame towers, so Paris and Notre Dame have a special place in my heart.
